20-year-old Anjali, a B.A. Student, died when a car in which she was travelling overturned after it dashed against the wall of a warehouse near Wazidowal village here yesterday, police said.
Her friend Sarabjit Singh, who was at the wheels of the car, is absconding.
Police said Sarabjit was talking on his mobile phone while driving and lost control over the vehicle resulting in the accident.
A case under Sections 304-A (causing death by negligence) and 279 (rash driving) of the IPC was registered against Sarabjit, police said.
The incident happened when Singh was on his way home from Phagwara market.
A case was registered against the truck driver, who is absconding.
Meanwhile, a dense morning fog engulfed this area for the second consecutive day today throwing normal life out of gear.
Vehicles have been moving at a snail's pace with their headlights thus adversely affecting traffic and causing difficulties for road-users.
